your website has recommended downloading the dynamic duo; Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and SUPERAntiSpyware. What do I do with my present programs like Stopzilla and Avira (Free version) ? Do I delete them first before installing the dynamic duo or keep them?
Are the two programs I'm running now (stopzilla and avira) sufficient to keep my computer safe.
Not sure what to do.
thank you

Apologies in the delay in a response. We are overwhelmed with logs at the moment and there aren't enough helpers to go around.
You should definitely keep Avira anyway, as it is AntiVirus program. MalwareBytes' and SUPERAntiSpyware are both AntiSpyware programs, a different category.
As for StopZilla (another AntiSpyware programs), it depends on what you computer can handle. Generally, I would advise that you install one new real-time protection program at a time. If you feel that your computer is running at an acceptable level of performance and you want more protection, then you can install another.
However, the free version of MBAM is purely an On-Demand scanner - meaning that it isn't running all the time. This wont be a problem at all, you can keep MBAM until you want to run a scan. This means that you can have either SUPERAntiSpyware or StopZilla (or both if your computer can handle it) without worrying.
